Pros

Literally, the only upside is to use disingenuous internal recognition awards to redeem for gift cards on the site

Cons

- CEO has no idea how to run a business, spends time waxing poetic internally and at conference while business and product in shambles - Small, ego-driven Leadership team with very little strategic or operational skills - The most fragmented, silo'd org structure imaginable-Sales, CS, SLT, Prod, eComm, Mktg, Data Analytics all running their own fiefdoms. Absolute chaos with no shared objectives - Culture of disingenuous recognition using the software platform--solely so that others can view, comment, and complement on another and the extremely basic feature/functions of the system - Absolutely zero product roadmap plan or follow-through - Legal/Finance team in the dark ages re; contracts, CRM, approvals run through 1-2 people - Sales Leadership completely non-existent, run by process driven delegator - eCommerce a complete mess; Defensive Leader/Team, Hidden pricing strategies on products offered on site, lack of support for customers, and many many other issues - Demos mostly, if not all, vaporware - Mostly a conference/communications company portraying itself as a Tech co. - Senior team use of "Board Meetings' to separate themselves from accountability - Foray into DEI is actually a feature button on antiquated UI - Technology Stack/Architecture a mess - Continually falling behind lighter, more nimble solutions for essentially the same service (customers fully aware and taking steps)

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
